WILLIAM JARRELL, OF TRENTON, TENNESSEE.

nvlpaovi-:MENT IN PLows.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 3l,l72, dated January22, 1861.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM J AERELL, of Trenton, in the county ofGibson and State of Tennessee, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Plows; and I do hereby declare that the following is afull, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had tothe annexed drawings, making a part of this specication, in Which-Figure l is a side View of the plow. Fig. 2 is a rear view. Fig. 3 is ahorizontal section at m.

Similar letters of reference indicate correspondin g parts in theseveral tigures.

My invention consists in an improved arrangement of devices for securingtheflandside.

The metallic portion of the plow is made up of a mold-board andstandard, A, cast in one piece, a separate landside, B, and a share, C.The landside is secured in position by the following means:

b is a projection from the landside, extending forward on the inside andengaging under a lug, a, ou the mold-board, thus securing the landsideagainst lateral motion outwardly,

while a shoulder, c, prevents its motion rear-` the squaring of thesocket d and the end of the bolt which its into it may be dispensedwith, if desired.

To secure the landside it is first placed in position and the bolt cthen inserted, lirst in the socket f and next in the socket d, and thenut g turned firmly against the face of the socket f.

The left handle I is bolted to the landside B and beam K in customarymanner.

The provision for attaching the right handle J is as follows:

j is a loop, cast on the inside of the moldboard to receive the lowerend of the handle.

k is an ear, cast upon and projecting upward from the upper corner ofthe mold-board, soinewhat in the rear of the working-face, and in asuitable position for the handle J to lie against its inner face. Asquare hole is cast in the ear 7c to receive a bolt, which passesthrough the handle and is secured by a nut, Z.

The benetits'of this device are ease of casting and the great facilityafforded for applying the bolt and nut without passing the formerthrough the working-face 0f the moldboard.

I am aware that a plow-handle has been previously secured by 'means ofbolts passing through lugs on the inside of the mold-board, and do notwish to be understood as claiming such, a distinguishing feature of myinvention being that the ear to which the handle is secured projectsupward, so as to permit the insertion of the bolt without difficulty, atthe same time that it is kept clear of the workingfaee of themold-board.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is

The combination ofthe landside B, sockets I andf, bolt e, and nutg,constructed, arranged, and operating in the manner and for the purposesset forth.

The above specification of my improvements in plows signed this 28th dayof November, 1860.
